Fiat 130 HP? |

I reckon it is a replica of a pre 1910 race car built around a slightly later model. If it supposed to be a race car it is odd that it has fenders and lights and it is on a very long wheelbase. I think it might be a Tipo 3 or Tipo 4 from the 1910-14 era. |

The number 22A on this car is a replica of the style used for the Targa Florio of 1907 except that the Fiats were all number 20 (A,B and C). This car - http://img.prewarcar.com/prewar/cars/Fiat_RIAC_700.jpg - is almost but not quite the genuine item in that it is one of very few built of the same model as used in the 1907 Targa Florio but did not actually race there as it was exported to Ireland. Note that the radiator shape is different to the film car. -- Last edit: 2011-05-21 11:57:51 |

Sorry but I have to disagree. The F-2 carried that number in the 1907 GPs. It was a short wheelbase large capacity grand prix car. This car is a long wheelbase touring car with a racing body, and looks very similar in style to the Targa Florio models in the links provided. I searched for some reference material and found this one which may well be the exact same car - just with its fenders removed. As can be seen it is not a grand prix car - /vehicle_172313-Fiat-Grand-Prix-130-hp-1907.html Looking at this one again I think it is a Fiat Tipo 2 or 3 from the 1910-14 era. Again note the radiator shape which is different to that used pre 1910. -- Last edit: 2011-05-22 12:21:38 |
